Just make sure your first line is an anchor line at the very bottom then your next line under the second node from the top and gently bend in the opposite direction of your anchor line until she is almost parallel with the top of your growing surface. Good Luck...any question or problems you can pm me.

I have a quick question about autos...most threads that i've read say to use 1 or 2 gallon pots...would it be overkill to use a 3 gallon pot filled with Fox Farms Ocean Forest? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks

Autos don't usually get really big so they don't require a 3 gallon pot...I use a 1 gallon and it works out fine...plus I can fit more into my grow tent. Also at the price they charge for FFOF why would you want to fill a 3gal pot when a 1 gal would get the job done....just my 2 cents

If you have a strain that is known to grow larger then the extra room is helpful but I have had much luck with 1 and a 1/2 gallon buckets. And like K said the price on that ffof is kinda high for dirt, imo

hey there everyone
I've got 3 short riders going from nirvana, and they look like they're autos, not like the northern lights from my 1st grow.
Gotta agree with K21701 about the LST, i pulled 73 grams of my 1 NL by LSTing her, had 12 nice big colas, and i stunted her by some over zealous pruning (noob error) so am doing the same with these 3. Heres some pics.

On a different note, well done Teflon for telling that dick where to get off :clap:
Of course autos are not really any good for commercial growers, but that aint us. We grow for ourselves and for the love of it. And because i for one refuse to pay stupid money for shit 'commercial' weed that ain't worth the rizla it's rolled in:leaf:
Viva la Revolucion!!!!!

I'm still a bit new to this but learning all the time. The guys in this thread (FullD, Mossys and co) helped me along with my first attempt and saved what could have been a disaster. But that's what it's all about - spreading the love, ha ha.

Hi I was on this thread a while back, I bought some super cali haze autos. So I planted 2 seeds they poped on the 11th of the 1st I have them in 3" pots and the roots are out the bottom of the pots allready. As they are quiet a long 120day grow can I keep them in the 3" pots for another few week's. They will be going into 30l pots for most of the grow but they just seem to be to small to transplant right now.

Transplant as soon as possible. every day they spend getting root bound in a tiny 3" pot is a loss of future yield. Autos are very root sensitive. It is best to give them room to grow unimpeded as soon as possible, if not from the beginning.

I don't grow in soil so I can't help you out in that dept. I have found the easiest way to grow is "hempy style" which I am currently doing in 100% perlite..check out my grow in my signature...

I was wondering if the Rodelization method for fem seeds works dependably with autos, tried searching the forums but haven't really found any hard evidence other than one random person, any info is appreciated.

yeah, that random guy was probably me. I'm not exactly sure if all auto plants can actually do it but if one does it ( happened for me), I guess its always a possibility.
